Introduction

This document provides explanations for the various failure messages that could appear on the work ticket.

Procedure

The following listings outline the possible error messages and define what they mean.

Blank Selection

NO SPHERE RANGE FOUND FOR THIS ITEM

SUGGEST EXPANDING EFFECTIVE SPHERE

RANGES IN THE BASE CURVE TABLE

• This message appears if you have gaps or no entry in the Base Curve Table, then you will get the above message. You need to either add an entry for the entered lens material or ensure you do not have gaps under the Effective Sphere Range Heading. If the lens is a full field, it will also print the following message:

FULL FIELDS MUST HAVE ENTRIES FOR THE

CORRECT LENS TYPE (NOT N/A)

• This message is related to the one above.

  If the entered lens is a Full-Field lens, you must have an entry for the specific lens material and lens type code. Even if you have an entry for PC material and NA or SV lens type, you still need a separate entry for PC material and a lens type code. (E.g. GP)

MULTI SPHERE RANGES FOUND FOR THIS ITEM

CORRECT OVERLAPPING EFFECTIVE SPHERE

RANGES IN THE BASE CURVE TABLE

• This is the opposite of the “NO SPHERE RANGE FOUND” message. If there are any overlapping entries in the base curve table under the Effective Sphere Range heading, you will most likely see this message. The Base Curve Table Editor does have safety precautions against saving overlapping entries, but the calculation module will still check for this.

NO SUPPLIER LISTED FOR THIS LINE ITEM

SUGGEST ADDING ENTRIES TO THE

BLANK SUPPLIER PRIORITY LIST

• This message appears if there is no entry in the Supplier Priority List for the lens style, material, type and/or power entered. Double-check the Supplier Priority Editor for an entry for this line item, expand the Supplier List and activate it to update changes. In addition, you may need to check the Base Curve Table for entries that may be forcing certain prescriptions to select specific base curves. If those base curves are not available in the Supplier Priority List, you will also get this message and will need to either add bases to the Priority List or expand the base rand in the Base Curve Table.

SUGGEST ADDING EXTRA THICK ENTRIES TO

THE BLANK SUPPLIER PRIORITY LIST

REQUIRED BLANK THICKNESS:

THIS LINE ITEM WAS NOT FOUND IN THE

LENS DATA BASE, SUGGEST MAKING AN

ENTRY INTO THE LENS DATA BASE

• If Blank Selection finds an entry in the Supplier List, but the lens does not exist in the Lens Database, you will see the above error. You need to enter the line item into the Lens Database before Blank Selection can use the lens. Make sure all items in the Supplier List exit in the Lens Database by running the “Check for Differences” routine on the Blank Selection Menu. If the job requires an extra thick blank the error will also print additional information showing center thickness, recommends myodisc at frame edge, thickness required at frame edge, and the amount too thin at the frame edge this lens would be. If the Rx requires and extra thick lens and the line item does not exist you will see the following message:

THIS LINE ITEM WAS NOT FOUND IN THE

LENS DATA BASE, SUGGEST MAKING AN EXTRA THICK

ENTRY INTO THE LENS DATA BASE

NO STOCK LENS IN THE LENS DB WAS

THE CORRECT THICKNESS TO EDGE OUT

SUGGEST ENTERING ADDITION LENSES

REQUIRED BLANK THICKNESSES: ##

• If the job tries all the priority picks and is unable to cut out using any of the picks in Finished Lens Stock you will see the above message along with the lens thickness needed. If possible, you may want the system to select semi-finished lenses in situations such as this. If the Layout operator is entering SVST as the lens style, you are forcing Optifacts to only consider finished lens choices. You may want to consider entering the style code of SV and configuring Optifacts to try finished lenses first and then choose from semi-finished if there are no suitable finished lens choices available. The above error will also print additional information showing center thickness, recommends myodisc at frame edge, the thickness required at frame edge, and the amount too thick at the frame edge this lens would be. If the lens pick was Semi-finished, the following message will print:

NO BLANK IN THE SUPPLIER LIST WAS

THICK ENOUGH TO EDGE OUT, SUGGEST

ENTERING A THICKER BLANK

REQUIRED BLANK THICKNESS: ##

NO BLANK IN THE SUPPLIER LIST WAS

LARGE ENOUGH TO CUT OUT, SUGGEST

ENTERING A LARGER DIAMETER BLANK

REQUIRED BLANK DIAMETER:

• You will see the above message if Blank Selection was unable to find a lens large enough to cut out, based upon the Rx information given. The system will print the minimum blank size needed to cut out. You need to enter larger diameters into the Supplier Priority List.

NO BLANK IN THE SUPPLIER LIST HAD

SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES IN INVENTORY

NO INVENTORY AVAILABLE FOR JOB

• You have the Inventory package, and you have the Inventory package configured to select lenses based on availability. Your Inventory database shows zero quantity for all the possible stocked lens selections for this particular job. Either you are out of lenses, or your quantity on hand in the Inventory program is not correct. Correct the problem and run this job again. This is triggered by the setting “Check Quantity on Hand and Costs?” in Inventory Configuration.

NO BLANK IN THE SUPPLIER LIST

WOULD WORK

• If Blank Selection encounters an error that does not correspond to any of the above messages, this message will print. You should normally never see this message print. Please call Optifacts Support with the Rx job # if you ever see this message on a pick ticket or work ticket.

LENS HAS ZERO QUANTITY

ON HAND

• The inventory package is configured to select lenses based on best fit. Your inventory database shows zero quantity for the proper stocked lens selection on this particular job. This is triggered by the “Check Quantity on Hand and Costs?” (set to N) in Inventory Configuration. When using the default parameters, this message should not appear.

Coat Switch

  *** COAT SWITCHED (stock or semi-finished) COLOR TO (color now), ORIG WAS: (orig. color) ***

• This message indicates that the color/coating entered at entry has been switched automatically to this color/coating

Cut Out, Thickness and PD

NO BLANK IN THE SUPPLIER LIST WAS

LARGE ENOUGH TO CUT OUT, SUGGEST

ENTERING A LARGER DIAMETER BLANK

REQUIRED BLANK DIAMETER: ##

• Blank selection was unable to find a lens large enough to cut out, based upon the Rx information given. The system will print the minimum blank size needed to cut out. Remove the restrictions (adjust the Rx) and try again.

WARNING: BLANK TOO THIN AT MRP

• This may occur if the entry operator has picked and specified lenses at entry. Blank selection will notify that no lens in the supplier list would work. Remove the forced entry and re-process the job allowing blank selection to pick the best possible lens for the Rx.

WARNING: BLANK TO THIN TO GEN. AT MRP

• This may occur if the entry operator has picked and specified lenses at entry. Blank selection will notify that no lens in the supplier list would work. Remove the forced entry and re-process the job allowing blank selection to pick the best possible lens for the Rx.

EDGE TOO THIN BY: xx.x

• This is a secondary message seen on blank selection failures. Provides additional information is assisting the lab to correct or change the selected products.

EDGE TOO THICK BY: xx.x

• This is a secondary message seen on blank selection failures. Provides additional information is assisting the lab to correct or change the selected products.

CENTER TOO THICK BY: xx.xx

• This is a secondary message seen on blank selection failures. Provides additional information is assisting the lab to correct or change the selected products.

A successful job also prints:

RX TRANSFER JOBS: Will be transmitted to XXXXXX

• The message will print in the center of the work ticket.

Shop Floor

SUGGEST CUTTING LAP FOR BOTH EYES

• On occasion Optifacts will print this message on the work ticket. The assumption is the required rear curves fall outside of normal parameters and a lap, or laps, need to be acquired. The action of this assumption is at the lab’s discretion.

*** CHECK BLOCK CRASH (which) EYE(s) ***

• This message indicates the lens at proper thickness will cut into the block. A generator data file will still be created. However, most generators will provide a similar message in the event that this message is missed. Older style generators will not provide the warning.
• When this message appears the generator operator will need to increase center thickness to a level that is acceptable to the generator or alternative blocking methods need to be accessed. If this is the smallest possible block choice, then the finer operator will need to reduce the center on the finer as best they can.

*** VERTICAL IMBALANCE OF #.## D PSM ***

*** SUGGEST RE-RUNNING WITH SLAB OFF ***

• The system will print this message anytime the imbalance exceeds 1.50 diopters.
• Ignore this warning in most cases. It prints as a reference to indicate a need. In some cases, customer service may want to verify with the account.
